These look O.K. (as near as one can tell from photos) - please note
that the Vienna Mint made numerous restrikes of both dates. I believe
that most of the restrikes were made in the 1960s and were made to
supply gold to the market of that era. This makes little difference
in the value, which is mostly based upon the gold content anyway.

Of course, the Austria 20 Corona has twice as much gold as the 10
Corona. Total of both coins together about 0.28 troy ounce pure gold.

The 10 corona should weigh 3.38 grams, and the 20 corona 6.77 grams.
There are fakes on the market with low or no gold content which
weigh much less.

Generally, if they weigh correctly, they are OK.
